Bonzie aka Blackie Update




Refer earlier post on the arrival of Blackie, the smarty-pants /Apartment Invader/Pup.

Here are a couple of updates.



  • She is now called Bonzie, because we think she should be a Bonzie. Not Bonzi because thats a boys name . The 'e' is definitive .

  • She has g r o w n .

  • She has three proud ( but young ) sponsors in the building who are delighted to play , feed and look after her , much to the chagrin of their parents . As you can see, to young Abbas, Shraddha and Ain , she is pretty much still a PUPPY!

  • She thinks she's a baby , and will submit to being carried around for hours!

  • She does not have blue eyes - its just the camera !

  • Coltish and lithe, she is Queen of the Porch , and is warmly welcoming of all building visitors. Noise levels are deplorable.

  • I think my entire building hates me for letting her be , but she is so cute ! The kids love her .

  • She has a little record book from CUPA which confirms that she has had all her rabies, lepto and distemper shots , and that she belongs to the Building Association . She is due for spaying next month (ouch!)
  • She is great buddy with next door neighbour Prashanth's six month rescue pup, Ginger . Watching them roll around together , and play - fight till they are exhausted, is really cute . She is feisty , this one.
  • This does not stop Bonzie from a deep desire to explore the neighbours garbage dump .Three determined and undignified baths by Ain have still not fazed her.
  • She has had her smart green collar and leash taken away three times by the neighbouring building's security guard . Once, I hear , a box/can was tied to her tail , much to my Army dad's fury. Perhaps for above reason. I still think its mean , because without a collar or license attached to the collar , the Corporation/Pound could seize her or put her down because they think she is stray and dangerous.

  • After Whitey passed away , in some way , Bonzie is perhaps my chance at redemption.

    I hope she finds a good and permanent owner/home soon.

Looking .

No , because we could not find out . But he huffed and puffed and made mentions of breaking his legs if he found out who it was .
It never happened after that .

Now you know wher I get my fave violent phrase from .

Were those kids really on the cover of India Today or did you design a pseudo cover like you did for the T-shirt?

If the kids were really featured in the magazine, how come the three sets of parents aren't fighting with each other to adopt the puppy?

Astute!
Pseudo cover as you rightly gathered .
The Kids loved it
Parents have never had dogs, two of the siblings are petrified of dogs, and are reasonably sure that this a bad idea. The Kids are just on their own in taking building ownership . And they have me. I wish one of them would. But shes happy and loved.
I wish life was a little more black and white . You know.
